RPI took the lead 5:23 into the second period when Drew Melanson intercepted a pass in the Maine zone and slipped it by McGovern as he went from right to left, giving the Engineers a 2-1 lead into the third period.
The Black Bears tied it up when Patrick Shea found Daniel Perez alone in front of the net and he slipped it by Perry's right pad 5:50 into the third period before freshman Mitchell Fossier gave Maine the lead for good when he got the puck in front of Perry and he buried it midway through the third.
Chase Pearson scored an empty net goal to finish the scoring for the Black Bears.
